Remote Sensing for Sustainable Environmental Ecology

Dear Colleagues,

The accelerating pace of environmental change demands innovative approaches to sustainable monitoring, understanding, and managing ecosystems. Remote sensing has emerged as a powerful tool, providing high-resolution, real-time data that enhances our ability to track biodiversity loss, assess climate change impacts, and inform conservation strategies. From satellite imagery and UAV-based monitoring to LiDAR and hyperspectral sensors, advancements in remote sensing technologies are revolutionizing how we study and protect the environment.

This Special Issue seeks to explore the latest developments and applications of remote sensing in sustainable environmental ecology. We invite contributions that showcase novel methodologies, interdisciplinary approaches, and case studies that leverage remote sensing for ecosystem assessment, land-use change detection, natural resource management, and climate resilience strategies. Studies that integrate artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and geospatial modeling to enhance environmental monitoring and decision-making are particularly encouraged.

By bringing together researchers from diverse disciplines, this Special Issue aims to advance the role of remote sensing in fostering ecological sustainability and resilience. We welcome original research articles and comprehensive reviews that contribute to this field's growing body of knowledge and support evidence-based environmental policies.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
